Pros:

Non Drying, removes makeup, No odor

Cons:

None yet

I use this cleanser in conjunction with the PM lotion and Retin A .025%. I tried Cetaphil, Nutragena Extra Gentle, and Purpose cleansers as I needed something gentle with the Retin A, this is by far my favorite!! Has really reduced the irritation from the Retin A. I use the Am lotion with SPF 30 in the morning after cleansing again. I even had my husband try these because of his rosacea & dermatitis. After 1 night his skin looks better. Not perfect, but improved, I think with continued use this could really help him as well. We love it!!

Gentle cleanser perfect for my skin. Doesn't remove makeup, so remove makeup prior to cleansing or double cleanse

Pros:

Hydrates
Non irritating
Non drying
Refreshing
No smell
Doesn't leave skin feeling tight

I tried the cerave foaming facial cleanser and didn't like it. I then tried this, and it made all the difference in the world for my flaky, dry skin. I love this cleanser, it's perfection in a bottle. I'm so glad I bought this.

Pros:

Great for sensitive skin
Great for when starting BPO and your skin is red and dry
Removes makeup well
Generous size and pump amount
Doesn't clog pores

Cons:

Might not be great for the non-sensitive?

I bought this to have on hand while transitioning back to using BPO. It really cleans well but doesn't dry my skin at all, which is good when you are in the tomato red phase of the regimen. It's also nice in the winter. It removes makeup surprisingly well.

Pros:

Doesn't foam
clears my face
takes about 2 or 3 pumps to cover face
good size bottle
gets rid of oil
makes face look great

Cons:

You can't really feel the gel penetrating your pores, which makes it feel as if the cleanser is not working, but it really does work!

I love this stuff! It has cleared up my face nicely! I was recommended by a friend to use this, and it really works! I had pretty bad acne, and after 2 days of using CeraVe, they reduced to little bumps. Now, a week later, you can barely notice anything on my face, and I am really happy with the results! Some people may find this stuff a little expensive, but it's definitely worth it!

Pros:

* Didn't dry out my skin
* Didn't cause any spots
* Well Priced

Cons:

* Not sold in the UK- shipping is expensive

An excellent cleanser that is perfect for my skin, and I would suspect great for those on the regimen. It cleanses very well without stripping the skin of it's natural moisture. Although it's great for me, it may not be ideal if your skin is naturally oily.

Pros:

Gentle
Non-stripping
Effective
Non-Irritating

Cons:

Can barely sting.
Weird gel consistency
Takes a lot of rinsing?
A little expensive.

I tried DKR cleanser, felt it was a bit stripping. I tried Cetaphil, same thing. this stuff doesn't give me the really tight, strippy feeling I get with other cleansers. I like it a lot. <3

Pros:

Gentle, no fragrance, leaves skin very soft, evens skin

Cons:

None so far

I had never heard of this product until I went to the dermatologist. I have used so many different cleansers and this is the BEST. I have very acne prone skin. Along with CeraVe, I take Solodyn and use Vanoxide HC in the morning and Ziana Gel at night. WOW ... what a powerful and effective team to battle acne ... my skin is almost clear after 4 weeks!
